Hi all,

i have the chance to buy an external sat receiver, model is Force D-Master 1144S.

The seller states it would work with B&O remotes.

In the user guide is also mentioned, that these receivers with an additional option are compatible to Beo4.

I just tested it with my B&O equipment.

It doesn't work with Beo4 and there is no obvious menu item in the setup menu regarding B&O.

How can i figure out, whether this receiver has the B&O option or not?

Any help is very appreciated,

Kiwi

The Force D-Master will work if either:-

• It is a Force D-Master compatible model, it will have a label on the bottom of the unit to say so; OR
• It is connected to a Beovision with the STB-C or PUC set to Force D-Master

If the unit is a B&O compatible model, then it uses the AVL signal on the SCART

Thanks Keith,

there is no label at the bottom.

Bad luck for the seller.

Kind regards,

Sorry Kiwi, the seller is right. You can control EVERY Force D-master with Beo4/5 via STB-controler or PUC. The box is on the list since many years.

You will also find a solution by www.oneremote.dk.

The seller is apparently selling a B&O compatible Force D-Master and so is advertising that it is a unit which will work using the "AVL" signal on the SCART connector, in other words NOT using the PUC/STB-C

It is true that the D-Master has been available in the STB-C and PUC for a long time, but the seller does not know the configuration of the buyers equipment.

Force being a Danish company produced several STB models each in two types B&O compatible and NOT compatible, the difference being the decode of the B&O commands on the AVL which means you do NOT need a STB-C or PUC to control it via your Beovision with the Beo4/5. The Beo4/5 IR signal goes into the Beovision and is sent out on pin 8 of the SCART to the STB
